Listen to Part 1

Kellee shares her journey from pursuing art in high school, joining the military, and eventually finding her creative voice. A central theme of the conversation is the importance of niching down—focusing on a specific style or niche to build a recognizable brand and attract the right clients. Kellee explains how consistency and authenticity in your work resonate with your audience, rather than chasing trends.

Kellee also highlights the power of email marketing for artists. While social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest can help attract followers, building an email list allows artists to establish deeper relationships with their audience. Email offers a direct line of communication, helping to nurture leads into loyal clients. Kellee shares practical advice for growing an email list, such as offering lead magnets and providing consistent, valuable content.

The episode also touches on marketing strategies, including:

• Building strong relationships: Whether it's fellow artists or potential clients, networking plays a vital role in growing your business.

• Leveraging visual platforms: Using Instagram and Pinterest to showcase your work, but ensuring the focus is on creating quality content that speaks to your niche.

• Focusing on quality over quantity: It’s better to have a smaller, more engaged audience than a large, disconnected one.

  
  

Kellee’s journey demonstrates that niching down and building an email list are critical for artists who want to build a sustainable, profitable business. Her advice on finding a niche and using email marketing can help any artist scale their career.
